Understanding regional disparity

Agenda 2030 for Sustainab l e Development ties together achieving the goals to “leaving no one behind”. Hence, in measuring and tracking progress, it is not enough to look at the progress at the regional or subregional levels. It is also necessary to understand whether individual nations are left behind while the region or the subregions in general are achieving the targets. Such understanding is critical for informing policies at the regional and subregional levels to closing the gap between nations and making progress collectively. Thus, tracking disparity in the status as well as pace of progress among countries is also necessary.

Sustainable Development Goals:

No Poverty
